Embassy Spokesperson's Remarks on issues relating to Taiwan(7)
2022-06-23 01:41

Question: Why is the statement of the spokesperson of the US State Department on Taiwan-related issues on 21 May completely wrong?

Spokesperson: The US side claimed that China continues to misrepresent US policy, that the US does not subscribe to China’s “one-China principle”, and that it remains committed to its longstanding, bipartisan one-China policy guided by the “Taiwan Relations Act”, three joint communiques, and “Six Assurances”. These remarks by the US side are aimed at breaking their own commitments and deny the one-China principle. Their misrepresentation of the history and distortion of the facts are completely wrong and unacceptable.

It must be pointed out that be it the one-China principle or the one-China policy, they are in essence about one China. This is a political consensus reached between China and the US, which serves as the political foundation and prerequisite for the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries. The so-called "Taiwan Relations Act" and the "Six Assurances", concocted by some forces in the US, contravene the three China-US joint communiqués. In essence, they place US domestic law above international obligations, and are illegal and invalid. The China-US relationship is one between two states, and can only be guided by political consensus reached between them, rather than being based on the policy unilaterally formulated by the US side.

As the facts show, China is not misrepresenting the US policy. It is the US which has been constantly reneging on its own commitments, bilateral consensus and original position. Such behaviour is no less than turning back the wheel of history.
